Hear O
Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord alone. Blessed be he whose glorious
kingdom is eternal.
Love the Lod your God with all your heart and with all your life and
with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are
to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them
when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie
down and when you get up. Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind
them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses
and on your gates.
